The “operation” was carried out in the strictest secrecy: as designer Michael Shettel put it, the non-disclosure agreement was “signed in blood.” According to him, only four people were involved in the project, but even these four could not openly discuss the work among themselves: they had to use special codes.

The fourth part of the “Twilight Saga” started in theaters a couple of weeks ago, and those who really wanted to have probably already watched it, which means they revealed the main intrigue of the film. No, no, I'm not talking about Bella becoming a vampire, or even how her wedding night with Edward will go. In my opinion, the main intrigue of the film is the heroine’s wedding dress, which is what I will talk about in my post.
Several famous designers fought for the right to create a wedding dress that would be seen by millions of people around the world. Here are some of them.

Monique Lhuillier

Stephenie Meyer personally chose the designer who would create Bella Swan's dress, and her choice fell on the delightful Carolina Herrera. Herrera created a luxurious wedding dress made of crepe satin and French Chantilly lace, costing $35,000.
According to Herrera, it was not easy for her to work on the dress:
I worked on this dress for six whole months, I kept throwing it away and then continuing to work again. Creation wedding dress- this is always a unique process, because every bride is unique. Each dress should be special, because a wedding is one of the most important days in a girl’s life. That's what I tried to put into Bella's dress, but here everything is a little different: after all, this film is a cultural phenomenon. Millions of people had to see it, so it had to be done with utmost precision.
The dress really turned out to be simply excellent: a minimalist cut of the bodice without the annoying corset inserts, long sleeves unusual for a wedding dress, and the main feature of the whole outfit is the lace back, dotted with hundreds of tiny buttons right up to the hem.
Carolina Herrera was inspired to create such a dress by the very image of Bella Swan, who was presented in the book - a fragile, romantic, innocent girl, whose first love became the one and only.
Of course, I was inspired by the description of the dress in Stephanie's book, but I also added a touch own hands, and also took into account the personality and style of the bride. Wedding dress, to some extent, is a rather intimate thing for a woman - it should reflect the personality of the bride. Bella's dress is romantic, filled with a timeless sophistication that is very heroine. In a way, the dress is a symbol of her maturity and femininity.
And what about Kristen Stewart herself? What was it like for her to try on, perhaps, the first wedding dress in her life of such divine beauty, and even from such a famous designer? Carolina Herrera:
At the very beginning, when Kristen put on the dress and looked in the mirror, she was very touched. At that moment she was not an actress or a film heroine, she was just a happy bride in her dress. It is always very important that a girl looks happy, and in this case, I was especially happy. It was a special moment for both Bella and Kristen herself.
Marry a vampire? Dubious pleasure! But to get married in the same dress as a vampire’s bride is very possible!
According to Herrera, the "Bella Swan dress" will be part of her 2012 bridal collection, and will retail for $35,000. And for those who want to get a similar outfit for their own wedding, but for financial reasons cannot afford it, the Alfred Angelo brand has released an exact copy of it. The only difference is that the analogue dress is made of satin, and not of crepe-satin. This beauty will cost $799 - acceptable for a wedding dress.
This is not the first time for the design house of Alfred Angelo to create a wedding dress “like in a movie.” In 1970, he produced an exact copy of the dress from the film Father of the Bride, in which Elizabeth Taylor starred.
Video about how the dress was created in the Carolina Herrera workshop:
Interview with Carolina Hererra. In principle, I have already quoted everything she said, but those who are interested can listen to the funny accent and look at the designer - a nice lady!
Well, I told you what I knew about the dress, and now all the attention is on the details!
Shoes
Bella's wedding shoes were designed by none other than Manolo Blahnik. In general, that says it all. A pair of chic satin pumps decorated with rhinestones in the shape of a flower, costing $1,295.
I can’t say whether Bella eventually wore them to the wedding itself, but she did take a few very tentative steps during the preparations wearing them.
Veil and "something blue and something old"
Bella's hairstyle was decorated with a laconic veil without lace or any other trim and a comb inlaid with white and blue stones - a very interesting thing, similar to an antique one.
and the finishing touch - bridal bouquet.
An absolutely stunning bouquet of flowers, somewhat reminiscent of wildflowers. I was very pleased by the absence of pretentious roses and orchids in it, which are now shoved everywhere.
Many were looking forward to the last filmed part of the Twilight saga, the wedding of Bella and Edward, many wanted to see the ceremony in all its details. What will Bella Swan's wedding dress be like? - this question worried almost the entire female audience of the saga. The public was intrigued by various rumors about who would design Bella Swan's wedding dress, but the rumors did not include the name Carolina Herrera. Despite this, it was she who became the designer of the famous and sought-after dress.
Carolina Herrera's outfits are popular among brides all over the world. Her strong point in wedding fashion is modesty and constant elegance! All her dresses very favorably emphasize the lines of the bride’s body, so it is not surprising that after the film was shown, many girls wanted to walk down the aisle in Bella Swan’s dress.
Let's remember how Stephenie Meyer (author of the saga) described Bella Swan's wedding dress:
“narrow, glove-fitting, shimmering, skillfully tailored, trailing into a train reminiscent of an inverted calla lily flower.”
The dress is indeed as described, however the designer added additional details to the dress and brought her vision to life. The back of the dress is decorated with lace and a long line of buttons covered with fabric. The idea of a path of buttons across the entire back was used more than once by other designers, and it turned out very beautifully.
Bella Swan's wedding dress is made of snow-white silk, trimmed with French Chantilly lace and 152 buttons. There is a track of 17 buttons on each sleeve. Creating the outfit for the heroine of “Twilight. Dawn." 4 dressmakers Carolina Herrera worked for 6 months. The wedding of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen cost the producers $70,000, of which $35,000 was the cost of the dress.
Like many things, Bella Swan's wedding dress was also criticized. Many people thought it was beautiful from behind, but completely ordinary from the front. However, it has long been known that at the same time gentle, modest and gorgeous dress cannot contain many highlights, there must be one highlight. In our case, this is the back.
When looking at Bella Swan's wedding dress, it is worth remembering that Bella is a modest girl, does not follow fashion and style, but is very romantic and has a gentle, beautiful smile. The dress should have pleased her fiancé, who was brought up on the tastes of the 20th century. Remembering this, you understand that her dress should be exactly like this.
What's unusual is that Bella Swan's wedding dress has long sleeves. This is due to the fact that the characters in the film live in the northern part of the USA, where there is almost no heat and sun. This dress is perfect for winter wedding. It will be a little warmer than models with bare arms and shoulders.
Now any girl can get married in Bella Swan's wedding dress, thanks to designer Alfred Angello. We have already written about dresses fairy princesses, released by this designer, Bella Swan's wedding dress designed by him is just as beautiful. In the designer's store, the dress is inexpensive, only $800 - $1000. The dress made by Alfred Angello is an exact copy, and is inexpensive only because a large number of pieces are missing self made and materials are replaced with cheaper ones. Some auction sites offer this model even cheaper.
Many saw in this dress a resemblance to another equally famous one - Pippa Middleton's dress at the royal wedding of Kate and William. However, the similarities are limited to a simple, fitted cut and a line of fabric-covered buttons.
Bella Swan's wedding dress, according to Carolina Herrera, will be one of her models wedding collection 2012, especially since the dress fits perfectly into the concept of the models and, as it were, crowns all these dresses into one image - the image of a bride from Carolina Herrera.
